General
Radar sensors monitor the area adjacent to the
vehicle from a minimum speed up to approxi‐
mately 210 km/h, 130 mph.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the Intelligent Safety
Systems.
A front camera detects the position of the lane
markings.
If another vehicle is detected adjacent to the ve‐
hicle – for example, with the potential of a side
collision – the system helps the driver to avoid a
collision. For this purpose, the system issues a
warning in the form of the LED on the exterior
mirror flashing and the steering wheel vibrating.
The system may execute an active steering in‐
tervention.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the visibility con‐
ditions and traffic situation correctly. There is a
risk of accident. Adapt your driving style to the
traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve you of
your personal responsibility. System limitations
can mean that warnings or system responses
are not issued or are issued too late, incorrectly
or without justification. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic con‐
ditions. Observe the traffic situation and inter‐
vene actively if the situation warrants it.
Operating requirements
The lane markings must be detected by the
camera in order for the side collision warning
with steering intervention to be active.
